You′ll know you're a man when you meet Mary Ann
If you only hear the sound of her breathing
She′ll talk to you in words, in ways you've never heard
And you'll forget about the time when you should be leaving

You′ll know you′re a man when you hold Mary Ann
In her eyes you'll see the pasts that you been living
In her secret ways you′ll find she'll reach into your mind
And you′ll know that all your crimes have been forgiven

Mary Ann can turn the hands of time so far back
That you think that time was just an empty word
Mary Ann can break the ties that bind
And love you thought you'd never find is therе
When she′s besidе you

You'll know you're a man when you love Mary Ann
And all the love you have is all you′re given
She′ll lay you down and cool you with her fan
You'll know there′s a reason for living

You'll know you′re a man when you meet Mary Ann
(You'll know you′re a man)
You'll know you're a man when you hold Mary Ann
(You′ll know you′re a man)
You'll know you′re a man when you love Mary Ann
(You'll know you′re a man)
You'll know you′re a man when you know Mary Ann
(You'll know you're a man)
